42PUS7809/12 Remote Control source button freezes

Today I had, for a second or third time, a problem with the Remote Control.

It didn't respond at all to the "source" key. The other keys worked some times, but I really don't know
what is happening with this key. It didn't respond at all...
Is this a firmware issue and does it has to be updated in the future.?

If this key is not working more often this most important key is giving lot's of irritation.

I must say I love the complete TV as it is build and hangs on the wall but also the quality of the images it selves,
this is good and beautiful... but the slow respond is making me those times.
Also I thought/ read that it play's Avi's but I keep getting the message unsupported file format...

I read some issues with the RC at some forum's but there was no clear solution given to those posts.

Does anybody recognize / experienced this problem with RC and Avi's ?
What can be done to avoid a RC freeze/ hanger problem ?

Well just checked it but 5 days ago, from of the 13th, there is available Version:014.003.006.128 and I had installed 3 or 4 weeks ago Version: 014.002.026.129
So should install that first than ... hopefully the changes will effect those mentioned problems...
So maybe you know if there is somewhere mentioned what things will be changed with that FW upgrade.
found it @ http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/c...scy=NL&slg=NLD

Also it's strange that when you look for it from of the TV it selves it says it is up to date and that latest firmware is installed.

Reason: update with release info

Hi Thomas,
I've updated it yesterday to this version so will work with that a while and will let you know my experiences with the remote and Avi playback etc.

Do you know some issues between LG HTS HX352 and the PUS7809 through the EasyLink HDMI CEC?
All 4 Hdmi's have ARC and the LG has this also imo... it's connected on Hdmi port 1.
but it's not communicating with each other and I also must have a ToshLink cable connected to enable sound through this 5.1 system.
Try to figure this out also but without succes...

Avi's are still not working also not after new FW... but I mayby pinpointed why the source is not working good.
If the LG HTS HX352 is not "on" he's blocking this feature... when I turn it on the source is "working".... It's connected on port Hdmi 1 , Should I connect it to another port like nr. 4 so in last position ?
Does anybody recognize this type of "error"

Hi Patco,
The standard procedure when it comes to the indication light in front, is to test the power supply on in the TV. The easiest way to do this is to leave the TV without power for a while...
